English version

Stage Direction & Dramaturgy is divided into two options: the first is oriented towards directors and the second towards playwrights, specialists in theatrical theory and criticism, and drama teachers.
Among the subjects studied are: Textual Analysis, History of the Performing Arts, Theory and Practice of Stage Direction, Dramatic Literature, Contemporary Theatre Staging, Illumination, Theory, Critical Practice and Theory, Introduction to Scenic Design, Acting with involvement in several theatre productions throughout the year.

Scenography (Design for the Stage) is a program that prepares students to work creatively and professionally as set and costume designers. They learn through collaboration with other design and production courses, developing an understanding of the specialist practitioners with whom they are likely to work during their careers, such as lighting and sound designers, puppeteers, constructors, stage managers and technical production teams.

As the basis of a collaborative approach to design, students will share some workshops with acting students, enabling a deeper mutual insight into each other’s practices and methodologies.

The Acting course offers two different programs:

Students may choose between our two acting programs:

• Acting course. Offers a comprehensive classical and contemporary actor training and prepares actors who aim to become artists in theatre, film and televisión. Among the course topics are Text- based Acting, Voice, Dramatic Literature, History of Theatre, Make-Up and many others.
• Physical Theatre course. Offers a specialized course for theatre practitioners that develops their expertise in movement for the stage. Students will create new work applying an extensive range of methodologies and techniques (Lecoq, Decroux, Laban, etc) for take a leading role in theatre creation. Among the many subjects are: Mime, Movement, Acrobatics, Voice, Fencing, Dramatic Literature, Make-Up and Mask Work.

In all our programs students are encouraged to participate in theatre productions throughout their courses as part of their training.

⇓ ESADG Student-Application-Form INCOMING

The aims and responsibility of the International Department is to provide the best experience for both students who regularly enter ESAD-G and for those who come temporarily with an Erasmus + mobility. Both this Department and the teaching team of ESAD-G do as much as possible to adapt as far as possible their teaching and the regulation of artistic education in our country to the needs of validation of ECTS credits of new Erasmus students.

All applications received by ESADg will be sent to the appropriate departments and specializations, which will make the selection amongst the candidates. Once that selection is made, the ESAD-G will provide letters of acceptance or rejection to each applicant’s home institution.

ESADg is an institution specialized in Dramatic Art included in the Spanish Higher Education System of Artistic Studies. It is mainly dedicated to the education and professionalization of actors, playwrights, directors and set designers. Our classes rarely have more than 16 students. These students have gone through a demanding selection process and once in a group they follow a common curriculum during their four years of training. Entry into ESAD-G is subject to certain parameters – ratio and profiles – which must be respected as much as possible to guarantee our teaching. We are very happy to collaborate internationally in the exchange of Erasmus students and we do everything possible for these exchanges to happen.
